LABYRINTH WALK AT AVALON PARK-Sunday June 5th Come experience the Spiritual practice of a LabyrinthWalk with Pastor Richard and church friends.  We will rendezvous at the Shep Jones Lane parking lot (two streets past the mill on Harbor Road past the pond) at 11:35 am following worship and take a brief 1/2 mile walk to the Labyrinth. There we will learn about how and what a Labyrinth walk is and each of us can make this short contemplative journey.  Afterward, families will have free-time for the opportunity to continue to walk the wonderful Avalon grounds, have a picnic lunch, or depart if desired. Please contact Donna at the Church office to reserve you space and so I know you are coming. Avalon Parking link: https://goo.gl/maps/si7tXaWxPnT7BgsX8 Email Donna at - office@pjpres.org

  Stewardship Begins November 6th        Stewardship Moment-Elder John Taylor November 13th                                   Stewardship Moment -Lisa Becherer November 20th                          Stewardship Sunday Moment Elder John Taylor   Our Fall Stewardship Campaign will be underway soon! We will be talking to you about stewardship over the coming weeks with the campaign culminating on Stewardship Dedication Sunday November 20th. Stewardship is how we use our God-given gifts; it is how we use our talents, our time and our finances to carry on Christ’s work in the world. Stewardship is how we live out our life as followers of Jesus Christ. Stewardship is about giving as an expression of gratitude for what we have received. The pledges that you make are used to support the mission programs and operations of the church.  It is a testament to your love of God, and our church, that you continue to provide support. Pledge cards for 2023 will be available in the Narthex beginning in November.

  Please join us for some fresh air and Fellowship on November 19th at 8:30 am as we spruce up the outdoors of the Church prior to the Dicken's Festival-Mistletoe Lane and Advent Season.

We will have Music both days of the festival (Listing to be posted soon) with special performance by the North Shore Chamber Choir performing "The Messiah" at 4pm on Saturday, December 3rd.

We look forward to seeing everyone enjoy the Dickens Festival this year!

Change is a natural part of life that we must all embrace. However, what never changes is God’s steadfast love. His presence is always there to strengthen, guide and comfort us. With Pastor Richard retiring, we begin to say farewell to him, for the past fifteen years, he has played such an important role in our faith journey. Please join us at this special Worship Service.
